Chapter 203: 55 Billion Beautiful Blades, Slightly Soft, Goldman Sachs, InTb, Three Majors Get Involved! (Ch 203)

The summer country entered the evening.

The US stock market has entered the daytime.

After three days of negotiations, Ding Yifeng had blisters at the corners of his mouth, which shows how intense the negotiations were.

After all, Tk Short Video needs to raise funds, and the numbers involved are not small.

Financing at the level of US$1 billion.

It’s not something that one company can take over.

Of course…companies with good prospects like Tk Short Video.

It’s a financing of US$1 billion, which can be taken up by an institution or capital.

Even a package acquisition worth 5 billion US dollars is something that any company can take!

A lot of companies agree to the $5 billion valuation.

But… Li Yi couldn’t sell it as a package, so there was no need to talk about it.

However, what Tk Short Video needs to introduce is a strategic partner, not just funding.

More connections are needed!

A capable partner!

Even with 1 billion in financing, it is impossible for one company to survive.

This requires persuading multiple investment institutions, capitals, and companies to find a valuation that everyone agrees on.

After several days of negotiations.

It was confirmed that Microsoft and Goldman Sachs would lead the investment, with InTb, iBM and three major music companies following suit.

The valuation has increased from 5 billion US dollars to 4.5 billion US dollars!

“The financing will be mainly used for the promotion of Tk short videos, technology research and development, and the construction of overseas data centers.”

Needless to say, promotion.

Currently, Tk short videos, Facebook’s Instagram and disappearing messages are in fierce competition.

It is definitely necessary to continue to invest funds in promotion to attract more users.

In addition, Ding Yifeng said during his introduction: Tk short video is a product developed based on advanced technology. Investment in technological research and development is essential, and it is necessary to ensure that the technology always remains ahead.

Finally, there is data security and user privacy.

Need to invest and build data centers overseas!

The user data in the United States is stored in the data center in the United States.

UK user data is stored in UK data centers;

In short, this round of financing requires the construction of multiple data centers overseas.

One billion US dollars is definitely not enough.

But 1 billion US dollars can be invested in the early stage.

Tk Short Video will definitely raise more funds in the future.

We will continue to invest in the construction of data centers in the future.

The investment company introduced this time is also very particular.

Needless to say, Microsoft can provide help in terms of strength, connections, and servers.

There is no need to say much about Goldman Sachs, the most powerful institution and capital in the United States, and its connections and relationships are beyond doubt;

In the future, if Tk short video encounters any problems in its overseas development, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and InTb can provide all kinds of support and lobbying in European and American countries.

Solve the problems you encounter.

The follow-up investor, InTb, is also one of Europe’s top venture capital funds, managing nearly one trillion US dollars in assets, so its strength and connections are naturally not bad.

IBM is also a top technology company in the United States. Currently, some server resources of Tk short video are provided by this company.

iBM invested in Tk Short Video because it is optimistic about this company.

On the other hand, there is also cooperation with Tk short video!

Whether it is servers, data center construction, or server procurement, IBM can provide assistance.

In addition, it has been agreed with the Big Three, and the Big Three also received part of the investment amount!

Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, InTb, and IBM, the three major ones, are all optimistic about Tk short videos.

That’s because there were Instagram and Snapchat.

The valuations of both are close to or even exceed 10 billion US dollars.

In less than half a year since its launch, Tk short video has swept major countries around the world and accumulated 180 million users.

It took Snapchat and Instagram 2-4 years to achieve this result.

It can be seen that Tk short videos are better than Instagram and Snapchat.

More competitive.

More popular with users!

4.5 billion US dollars, investing in Tk short videos is a sure win.

As for the potential risks of Tk short videos?

After all, Tk Short Video is not a Xiaguo company.

The place of registration, shareholding and shareholder situation are all Airbus in the overseas Cayman Islands.

It has something to do with Xia Country…it’s just that Xia Country has a short video of musical notes.

Subsequently, with the financing, major giants, institutions and capitals joined in.

With common interests, connections and relationships…potential crises can be resolved.

What’s more, as shareholders of Tk Short Video, we all play a role of surveillance and supervision.

There should be no problem in convincing Washington…and those hawks in Europe and the United States.

Besides: all investments have risks!

《Tk short video completes first round of financing, led by Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and Suz, with a post-investment valuation of US$5.5 billion! 》

“Tk short video becomes the fastest unicorn company: valued at US$5.5 billion in 5 months!”

《Tk short video raised 1 billion US dollars, ranking among the top 10 venture capital transactions! 》

“Tk short video is not a Xiaguo company!”

《Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, IBM, InTb, and three major music companies joined the game, and Tk completed its first round of financing! 》

《5 months, valuation of 5.5 billion US dollars, Tk short video becomes popular! 》

“Tk Short Video has raised 1 billion US dollars in financing, and will continue to improve its core technology, invest in building its own data center, and increase software promotion efforts!”

“Tk’s holding company is not a Xiaguo company!”

《……》

Overseas media also gave extensive coverage to Tk Short Video’s completion of its first round of financing.

Tk Short Video raised US$1 billion in financing this time.

An extremely large number.

Directly became one of the top 10 venture capital transactions in the United States!

You should know that this is only the first round of financing for Tk Short Video.

It’s hard to imagine that Tk Short Video has only received its first round of financing after its development to this point?

Not even an angel round? !

All the previous developments were funded by Li Yi… or the major shareholder behind the scenes.

This led to Tk Short Video’s first round of financing of US$1 billion and a valuation of US$5.5 billion!

After the completion of this round of financing, we have actually started to “label” Tk short videos.

Use the power of the media and take advantage of the popularity of this Tk short video.

Label it as: It is not a Xiaguo company.

Seriously speaking, Tk Short Video is indeed not a Xiaguo company.

Its controlling shareholder is a Cayman Islands shell company.

It has nothing to do with Xiaguo.

How can it be considered a Xiaguo company?

Right? !

There is nothing wrong with the media reports, right?

Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, IBM, InTb, and the three major music companies have joined the market.

Even competitors like Facebook and Snapchat did not say: Tk Short Video is a Xiaguo company.

There is not much benefit in going against this kind of top capital.

What’s more…Tk Short Video does not belong to Xiaguo Company.

After completing the financing, Ding Yifeng took advantage of this popularity and the channels of the company’s investors to directly launch another round of promotion of Tk short videos.

It’s also a global promotion.

“Tk short video has 180 million users in 5 months ~ It’s amazing!”

“In just 5 months, 180 million users around the world have chosen us!”

“Snapchat took more than two years, Instagram took more than three years, and Tk only took five months!”

“Some people say that Tk Short Video is not a Xiaguo company? The core technical personnel and the person in charge of this company are from Xiaguo!”

“Many companies in the United States have technicians who are from Xia country…Many companies, even Microsoft and Google, have Xia people as executives.”

“5 months, $5.5 billion valuation!”

“Tk short video’s intelligent algorithm is the strongest algorithm I have ever seen, even more powerful than companies like Google and Microsoft!”

“This is a technology company, a technology-based company. This company is really awesome and cool!”

Tk short video can be said to have ascended to the throne by stepping on Instagram and Snapchat.

In a short period of time, the number of users of Tk short videos has reached 200 million! !

Shareholders who invested in Tk short videos feel that this investment is well worth it.

In such a short time, another 20 million users were added?

It’s like just investing in Tk short videos, and the performance has increased again… The valuation has skyrocketed a lot!
